three more times. That's right. And you know, it was like about 50, 60 people. Number one, why you got this many friends at 15 years old?

It's a school. What? It's a new day and age, sweetheart. Isn't she in chair leading as well? Yes, man. So that's reason why.

Be less popular. Be less popular. It'll cost me less money when you do functions. Because he had to pay for everything. But you know what I do with my kids? Instead of, well, for Madison, instead of having a sweet 16, I was like, would you rather have a sweet 16 or would you like to travel and have memories? And I talked her out of the sweet 16.

We traveled and we did memories. My five-year-old told me last night that for her Sweet 16, she needs a purple polka dot car and she needs a vacation. And she wants to drive the purple polka dot car to the airport before we go on vacation. Well, you got 11 years to get that together. Good luck, kids. Don't get that together.

Good morning. Front page news, y'all. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some

front page news. Now, before we jump into the news, some quick sports. Now, Dante Wilder over the weekend lost in the fifth round with a knockout.

Did you guys see the fight? You know I did. What'd you think? No, I didn't. I think that the good brother, Deontay Wilder, has had an amazing career, and I think that it's time for him to hang it up. I think that it's a wrap.

I don't think that he has the will to fight anymore. I just don't. I know he's a warrior, but you can tell when somebody's heart isn't really in the sport anymore. I think Deontay Wilder is a wrap. It's a wrap. It's a wrap. I don't want to the sport anymore. And I think Deontay Wilder is... It's a wrap. It's a wrap. It's a wrap. I don't want to see no more.

Now, also a wrap is Mike Tyson, Jake Paul fight. The fight will be postponed now. This is after the Osa flare-up, so that fight won't happen if you were looking forward to that fight. It'll probably be postponed. It probably won't happen,

but we'll see. Probably for the best. That young boy, man. I love Iron Mike Tyson. That young boy gonna hurt Iron Mike Tyson, man. I know them 30 second videos on Instagram be gassing y'all up, but Mike Tyson's still a 50 plus year old man.

Okay, clearly with his shoes, with some outfit shoes. He don't need to be in the ring with Jake Paul. I want him to get his payday. But if Jake Paul really out there trying to fight him, no, I don't want to see that. I don't want to see Mike get hurt. Well, good morning, Morgan. How you feeling? I'm doing well. How y'all doing? Good? Good, good, good.

Peace, Morgan. All right, let's keep in theme with the sports. The Kansas City Chiefs visited the White House for the second straight year as the Super Bowl champions on Friday. President Biden detailed the season the Chiefs had and spoke about the impact of head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and others. Let's hear from the president. And with the unstoppable 13-play drive in overtime, Patrick, the comeback king. Not kid, king. So Biden also touched on the deadly shooting that happened

at the team's victory parade and highlighted how members of the Chiefs helped fans in a moment of chaos. The team also gifted the president a Chiefs helmet that he actually tried on. Oh, my God, you had to be there for that one. He needed to wear it. As much as he'd be falling, he needed to wear it. He should have been wearing a helmet.

O-M-G. And, in fact, Patrick Mahomes, shortly after the formal event, Patrick Mahomes caught up with me on Pebble Beach, and here was his comments about that visit. The guys that didn't get it the time before. And so you explain, you talk about it all year long. You talk about the White House trip. You talk about winning the Super Bowl in general and everything that comes with that.

And being able to talk about it and get to show some of these young guys and guys that can't come from other teams, it's a special moment for them. And you get to see that smile on their face when we leave. You said he caught up with you, Morgan? Yeah. Well, it was me. It was Gaggle. It was me and a bunch of other reporters.

Oh, okay. I didn't know you did that. Yeah, I'm out here. He don't be paying attention. You said that on Friday you was going to the White House. Yeah, but she said she was going to get an exclusive.

Oh, okay. I might not have been here for that, though. I think I was running late for it. The Chiefs won Super Bowl 58. Of course, they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime to become back-to-back champions, the first since the New England Patriots course, they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime to become back-to-back champions, the first since the New England Patriots.

And they opened the season against my Baltimore Ravens on September 5th in Kansas City. Oh, so you're a Ravens fan. Why are you a Ravens fan? Because you're from that area, right? I'm salty about it. We can move on. You're from that area. You should be a Ravens fan.

He's trying to throw a stab at Jess Alaris. No, I'm not. I'm not going to worry because I'm a Stalers fan, Morgan. So it is what it is. Oh, oh. It was for while I laughed at Jess. Okay. Meanwhile, former President Trump was on Fox & Friends talking about his conviction.

Let's hear what he had to say. This was turned down by the Southern District. This is overused. This could have been brought seven years ago. You know, they tried to rush it because they wanted it before the election. But this could have been brought seven years ago, but they didn't have any attention. A case like this has never been brought before. And there's never been a case where a state has gone after a federal election. In other words, that's for a federal. That's for like the Southern District to go. Southern District turned it down. We got

clearance from the FEC, Federal Election Commission, clearance. They're suing, saying we violated a thing, but they gave us clearance. Yeah, Trump went on to say the charges were written weird and the case could have been brought up seven years ago. He did say that. And of course, he is OK with the judge sentencing him to house arrest or even jail. Now, South Carolina tim scott says this conviction of former president trump is actually uniting the republican party let's hear from tim scott what we're seeing is never trumpers calling me and saying tim i'm on the bandwagon now i've seen this two-tier justice system working against the president united states it can work against me

too it's not it's not a two-tiered justice system. It's more like a three-tiered justice system, right? Because, you know, there's one justice system for some white people. There's one justice system for black people. And then there's a justice system for presidents, meaning that Donald Trump didn't even get a mugshot for this situation. I have never seen Donald Trump in handcuffs. He did get a mugshot for one of them.

Not for this one, one in Georgia. He didn't get a mugshot for New York. He didn'tald trump in handcuffs he did he did get a mugshot for one of them not for this one one in georgia he didn't get a mugshot for new york never put in handcuffs he didn't get put in handcuffs like that don't happen to regular everyday people and you know all y'all out there you know just please keep in mind donald trump is not a political prisoner he is not someone who was unjustly uh you know beat by police or are shot by police are clearly not killed by police he broke the law okay he went to court a jury of his peers convicted him it is what it is and sleuth all the MAGA crazies in my uh Facebook mentions you know I don't be on my Facebook but you know when you go on Fox News and say something they don't like about Trump MAGA comes like the beehive really matter of fact MAGA

might be worse than the beehive MAGA might be worse than the barbs so you're scaring the people who run my page. So please, cut it out. It's not like y'all gonna listen. Front page news. Alright Morgan, we'll see you next hour. Got it. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent,

hit us up right now. Again, 800- 585-1051. Let us know how your weekend was. Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I'm dialing. I'm dialing. Hey, what you doing, man?

I'm dialing. I'm calling. I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's your boy Jay from PA. Jay from PA. Good morning. Jay, who's this? Yo, it's your boy Jay from PA.

Jay from PA. Good morning. Jay from PA. Hello? Yo, what's up, Jay? You can ask? Yeah, I hear you. What's going on?

Get it off your chest. All right, man. I just want to let everybody know, especially the brothers out there, especially us black men, man. Go home, man. Go home. That overtime, it ain't worth it. That money, it's not worth it, man.

I'm serious, bro. What if you needed to keep the lights on at home? Listen, listen, listen. You know, listen, family is more important than anything, bro. Listen, for a year straight, I was working doubles almost every day.

I almost lost my family behind this, bro. And she simply told me, she was like, yo, you just simply weren't there. Damn. So that's more important than anything right now. Like, I'm fighting right now to get my family back. Kids, wife, all that, bro. And I realized, like, yo, that money ain't important.

Like, you know what the kids miss? They miss me being there. That's right. You feel what I'm saying? They ain't worry about that dollar bill. Them kids don't care about how much money I'm making. They going to remember that time I spent with them. If the lights get cut off, they ain't going to think about, oh, dad ain't had the money for that. They going to think, yo, dad was playing with us with the flashlights.

Well, you don't want the lights to go off. Go home, man. But you're right. You got to make time for your family. Absolutely, positively. Now, doing doubles is the most important thing. That's crazy, but. Yeah.

Like, I'm fighting for it right now, you know what I'm saying? And I can't blame her. Like, it's my fault. I wasn't there. But, you know, you can't, and I don't want to, you know, you're putting a lot on yourself. But, you know, as a father, you know, the first thing that we think is we got to protect and provide. And provide means a lot. And especially in this crazy world where people have been losing their jobs, things have been messed up.

So you just want to make sure that you can pay for school you can pay for activities you can pay for your house your car and all those things so don't beat yourself up too much but you're talking about activities this brother right here he just want to keep some food on the table right and sadly sometimes that's all it is the bed that that seems like the bare minimum but it's really not it's actually a whole lot especially what you're saying what you're saying that you want to spend more time with your family, man. So I think we got to shift our mindset. A lot of times we think just being able to provide food and keep a roof over their head is the bare minimum.

It's not. That is a lot. That's right. A whole lot. Not. That's right. Time is more important than anything. That's right. I don't switch up jobs.

I took a lower-paying job. I'm working third shifts so I can be home with them all day. I don't care about no money no more. I respect it. Only them. I respect it. Only them all day. Like, I don't care about no money no more. I respect that. And only them. I respect it. Only them. I respect it, my brother.

Salute to you, man. And salute to being a stand-up man for your family, brother. Absolutely. Have a good one, brother. Hey, hey, Charlotte, man, can I get a book, bro? Yes. Send my guy a book because he don't got no money. He don't have no extra money to buy another one.

You're right. You know what I'm saying? That's what I said. I don't know if I can say that. When you're weak, you're fragile. You know what I'm saying? You ain't got the strength you need. There's nothing good about being weak.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price.

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives.

It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like this social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us.

It's maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. something and understand something that nobody could get you to see it's time to set it off so we know cardi and bia um have been low-key beefing for a while but the beef became bigger over the weekend after cardi's verse on wanna be remix um before we get into it some backstories so the beef allegedly started last year after cardi dropped like what which sampled missy song

she's a bitch um bia also had a song out that she sampled the same missy song and then she supported claims that cardi was copying her style uh bia publicly stressed that she didn't know cardi and didn't have a problem but then in april she took a shot at cardi on the bitch does song um that was the remix with drizzy ken the man and lakia um and she basically said we don't know why we don't have audio for that but she said how you say you running down but you can't walk on the beat and then I can never turn my phone on

just to cry on the live I hate a sneaky egger pick a side so just little shots being taken here and there apparently this is what made Cardi address her on the wannabe remix Cardi ate and that was just like real cool real cool, light, simple, whatever. And that was on a remix.

She ain't even make a whole song to address her. I thought that was pretty slick and cool. Then Cardi went live on Instagram to address the situation. What happened? Let's just say. I'm so appalled at the fact that she thinks that I'm copying her or that I'm stealing from her. Because there's nothing that she do that I like.

I don't like her music. I don't like her style. I don't like how she i that i like i don't like her music i don't like her style i don't like how she look i don't like nothing about her i don't even see the so it's like more or less when i did my first song like what i've been did it before you put it out and then um enough where she thinks that i copy her ad libs and whatever the something with the beat i called her and we ended up the conversation on a very great note april 14 2022 this is when i first received the beat for enough i recorded enough on may 18 2022 so in that live cardi did have a lot of receipts she even like had the conversation between her and me and she said it started a little rocky you know because cardi said i was a little ghetto i got on a little rocky, you know, because Cardi said I was a little ghetto. I got on her a little bit. But then, you know, we ended cool.

Like, it was all right. You know, we're all friends, but it ended all right. And then for me, I was just like, Cardi, yo, don't give it this much. Because it's like, whatever. You ate her up on a song, whatever. And that's it. But she basically been lying behind the scenes. And she also has something to say about that too.

I have a, I have a special bond with my, we're not perfect, but we got a bond for you to try to come and lie on my and say some like that. And then like, you're trying to put it on a song, bitch, put it on a song and put,

and put receipts out. Cause you can lie about my pussy with no seats. And when you lie about my pussy,, make sure them sh** is legit. Because b****, I'm going to take you to court. You can diss me all you want. You can talk about how I love, how I can't rap, blah, blah, blah, whatever the f***. I don't give a f***. Since we here, go ahead.

Go stream Bia Music. Give her some streams, guy. She needs to recoup her publishing. But we ended up the conversation very nicely. You still kept going to the internet dissing me i can understand why cardi reacted that way yeah you just said you know you're going around saying i'm cheating on my husband you know when you start playing with people's marriages and vows what a mutual friend yeah you're gonna get smoked being sneaky you know so bia hopped on her own live and she said she wasn't gonna do much talking about the situation so she uh proceeded to preview a full diss track toward cardi yeah fart fart all over this barbie gracie's corner got 24 hours to respond i'm telling

you i felt like i felt like okay now listen the beat is hard i like the beat it's cool but my thoughts on the actual uh diss record i'm just like, I think that's why she previewed it, like, in the middle of the night like that. Nah, she don't need to. Yo, a couple comments I saw was funny. Yo, somebody said, sound like she should have called Pardee, too. Like, that was hilarious to me. The name of that diss record should have been Not Like That, because that is not how you

diss somebody in a rap record. And when you make a diss record, you can't make something so terrible that you end up dissing yourself. Because the point of diss records is for you to clown your opponent. When you make a diss record that's so bad, you know, that you end up dissing yourself, you end up being the butt of the joke. So technically, Bia went in the booth and eat for herself.

And I just was like, damn. And I think that's why she just tried to preview it to see if she was going to drop it or not to see if people liked it. It was ass you know what I'm saying I just don't think there is that type of rapper

to go at somebody like it was cute yeah yeah it was cute for you to drop the little bars and shake her on a remix

that you did with Dreezy but not a whole diss record no it was it wasn't so it wasn't giving it wasn't giving to me yes

it wasn't and I like both of wasn't giving to me Yes It wasn't And I like both of them I love Cardi But it's just like Come on now Just leave it alone But I hope That's it for Cardi

Don't say nothing else She won already Yeah she did win already And even in the Diss track B did say When you say my name That's a benefit

Yeah you knew that You know that And that's why Cardi on her live Did say Go stream this girl music Give her something You know so And And that's why Cardi on her live did say, you know, go stream this girl music. Give her something.

You know, so. And other news, real quick. Okay, so Jennifer Lopez tour is canceled, y'all. So she said a statement on Friday explaining that her scheduled summer tour

is canceled. She wrote, I'm completely heart sick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn't do this if I didn't feel

that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you so much. I didn't feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you. And we will all be together again. I love you so much. Until next time. That's surprising, actually. Was it selling?

Was the ticket selling? It said ticket sales were low. But, I mean, it's Jennifer Lopez. You figure people will go out and support Jennifer Lopez. But they were very expensive, though. They were expensive. You know? And this day is in time.

Who ain't on tour? It's a lot of tours. A lot of tours. You got to make them bodega prices, J-lo yeah quarter water prices quarter water she know that she brag about the bronx all the time she know like people be doing bad but even though people love j-lo like you figure she's one of those artists that they'll go out and support and regardless she has a catalog of music that you figure people would love but i guess not and although it was reported that you know and has been all over the place that the ticket sales are not doing good,

the sources close to her say, that's not the case. That's not why. Oh, okay. So it's just like some, she's, they making it more about like her marriage, like her trying to,

you know, work and then the marriage. Like she could be going through some mental issues. Yeah, but they said they had to cancel a couple of dates at first. Yeah. And then they cancel those dates and then they just.

Absolutely. Yeah. Just get on a sideline. You know. That's right. That's what you should dates at first. Yeah. And then they cancel those dates and then they just. Absolutely. Yeah. Just get on a sideline. That's right. That's it. You should go get it. Yeah. See stores right now.

Yeah. I ain't the one lying. I'm good. J-Lo got it. Hey, y'all. Salute to Big Body, too. Oh, we got to wrap. But salute to Big Body, man.

Body, I appreciate you so much. I told y'all earlier that over the weekend, my daughter celebrated her sweet 16. She had her party yesterday. And Cardi pulled up, man. So, dropping the clues bomb for Cardi. She had the kids going crazy. She was so gracious. She took pics with all the kids.

She was dancing with them. They were singing her songs word for word. It was amazing. So, Cardi B, thank you. Salute to Cardi. Cardi took mad to go play. Mad to go play? No, no.

She took mad to go play. Yeah, we place? No, no. She took mad to go place. Yeah, we got her right. We definitely got her right. And I know the internet, especially on YouTube, they love to say that I'm biased towards Cardi B. Yes, I am. That was right. So it is what it is. And I will forever be biased to her.

Hey. Because she did not have to come to my daughter's Sweet 16, but she did. I got big, bulletproof love for Barty. Salute to Barty. Yes. And shout out to Offset and the whole fam as well. All right. When we come back, my front page news, actually, Morgan Wood will be joining us.

We'll break down. Got some sad news. Michelle Obama's mom passed away. We'll give you all the details when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. Yes, very sad news to report that former President Barack Obama's mother-in-law, that's the mom of former First Lady Michelle Obama, Marianne Robinson, has died at the age of 86.

The former president confirmed her death in a statement on social media. The family said Robinson was their backstop a calm and non-judgmental witness to their triumphs and stumbles they said she passed away peacefully on Friday morning and none of them are sure how they'll move on without her spending the Obama family healing energy absolutely 86 is a nice long life I'll take 86 years on this planet all day every day yeah so history is being made in Mexico right now, the election. There's the first ever female president, Claudia Sheinbaum. She has pledged to govern with the same principles as her predecessor, Lopez Obrador, calling that a good thing for all Mexicans.

So Obrador took to X on Sunday to congratulate Sheinbaum, noting it appeared that she won most of the votes. She defeated Chotel Galvez. I'm sorry, that's a hard pronunciation. And it's also Mexico's first Jewish president, although she has not been very public about her religion. She's Jewish and Mexican? Yeah. She was born to Jewish parents, but she has not been public about it on her campaign trail oh so she was born to jewish parents in mexico yeah wow interesting isn't it i was about to say trump uh trump trump i was going to say trump get in he definitely gonna build the wall but i don't know he might not know

all right y'all take a breath no if you have asthma or you know somebody with asthma, you may want to listen up. Effective today, millions can expect to benefit from the price caps on asthma and COPD inhalers. A number of drug companies have agreed to limit out-of-pocket costs to $35 a month. Detroit-based Dr. Alan Baptist says he's hopeful that this will reduce some of the burden on patients he sees. Let's hear from the doc. I think this is a great step in the right direction, but it's in some ways just a band-aid on the bigger problem that we have, the outrageous cost of pharmaceutical and drug prices in the United States. Yeah, so the move comes after a similar welcome step

by insulin manufacturers last year also set cap prices. Moving on, in a case of vindication, remember the man last week who joined the court, Zoom, while driving on a suspended license? Yeah, Corey Harris. His name's Corey Harris, right? Yes, Corey Harris. Well, it looks like he's actually innocent

and there was a clerical error made. In fact, in January of 2010, Harris' license was suspended due to unpaid child support. But in January of 2022, a judge in Saginaw County lifted that suspension. Apparently, that was not shown. Now, Harris encouraged people to always check behind clerical workers because they always say they're going to do something and they never do it. He went on to say this ordeal has been very embarrassing for him because he's actively involved in his church. Now I got to take back Donkey of the Dead.

This man is a meme for no damn reason. I done seen this man face so much this weekend being memed for every single thing. Especially after Trump got convicted. They was using his picture for everything. This man got an Etsy painting. Damn, Corey.

You gotta see my bad, Corey. My bad. He had his license. That's why Corey looked like that. Corey was like, I like the things you're spending. Damn, Corey. Damn, Corey.

Oh, I got to take back Donkey today from Corey, man. My bad, Corey. Hey, I done called this man and said he look like Beetlejuice's brother, all kind of stuff. You did? You said he was dying.

I'm like, oh my God. Jesus Christ. Now that he's still I don't know if he is dying or not but he was at he was at the hospital he had to go

he did still go to the doctor he didn't go to the hospital it was just a doctor's appointment our bad Corey oh my gosh my bad Corey and I did to be fair

I did give the judge donkey today too for not having more sympathy and empathy toward Corey and whatever his health conditions and not information word on

yeah I bet judge should add to all information alright Corey core Corey core thank you Morgan thank you information. Not information. Word up. Yeah. Just add all information. All right, Corey, Corey, Corey,

Corey. Thank you, Morgan. Thank you. That's your Front Page News. I'm Morgan Wood. From the Black Information Network,

you can follow more news coverage at Black Information Network and at BINews.com. All right. Now, when we come back

from Power Book 2, Michael Rainey Jr. will be joining us. Go Season 4 is out June 7th and we're going to talk to him when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Michael Rainey Jr. Welcome. What's up? How do you feel, man? Series for now power book to ghost and we've been watching power for 10 years literally watch when you grow up on television how does it feel knowing that there's a in around the

corner it's a bittersweet feeling like obviously you know like it's been a long run has been a long legendary run but like you know God's timing is everything and like everything gotta come to an end and also like I also, like, I feel like it's just time. Like, it's just time for, you know, to, you know, step into the next chapter of my career. You know, be looked at in a different type of light. You know, everything was great. And I'm thankful for it. But I'm definitely ready to, you know, to move on into the next chapter.

So, I'm happy about, you know, the end and everything. Because it's a good time. It's not like it's dragged out or anything. Like, oh, when is it going to end? People are like, no, don't end it. So, it's like, I'd rather end's dragged out or anything. Like, oh, when is it going to end? People was like, no, don't end it. So I was like, I'd rather end on that note rather than like, oh, when is this going to end? And dragging it out. So I'm happy with where it's at right now.

Did you really find out on social media that? Nah, I was trolling. I took a page out of 50 Book with that one. I just knew it was going to stir the pot. I knew people was going to react to it. So I'm like, let me just see what happens. But they told me before, you know, everyone knew. But I just wanted to troll everybody. And I knew it was going to get a it so I'm like let me just see what happens but they told me before you know everyone knew

but I just wanted to troll everybody and I knew it was going to get a reaction out of people what was that feeling when they told you how did you actually

feel like in that moment in the moment I was kind of confused because I'm like that don't even make sense the show was doing well you know we one of the top

performers on the network just like you know just a weird piece of information I just started getting cheeks I just started getting

cheeks on the show I just started getting licked man I was just about to get another call I weird piece Of information I just started getting cheeks I just started getting cheeks On this show I just started getting licked Man I was just about to get Another car I know you wasn't I know you wasn't Man yo don't get me started

With the car business Cause they got me that Porsche And they took it right from me I was mad The same day I was like damn I'm like bro I can't even Enjoy my wish

But nah I mean What happened with the Porsche Yo remember man Nah Tariq been walking for years I'm like wait Coming into all this The same day I got it? It was over.

Yeah, first time he got a call, they took it from him. I was like, damn, Fiff, why you just get this boy a call? They didn't want me to be driving. But what about on set, though? Because I know you're pretty close with your co-stars. And with it coming to an end, how does it feel on set? On set, it was just regular because we didn't know that we were filming our last season. While we were filming, we were just like, all right, let's just make this season better than last season.

We wasn't filming season four with, oh, this is the last season in the back of our minds. So once the season was in the can, that's kind of when all the news started being passed around for me. So we were all set at that time. But obviously, I spoke to some of my cast members and stuff, and they was confused and a little bit disappointed. But then they also got to understand, you know, the reasoning and behind the scenes of why everything happened and the way it's happening now.

But a lot of people was confused. A lot of people was, like, taken back by it, as I was. But, you know, it all makes sense at the end of the day. Because it feels like if Power Book 2 ends, then the whole universe ends. Maybe not Rais raising canaan because it's an origin story but do you still do force with tommy like do you still do others like you know yeah i mean tommy he all the way in chicago so it's like doing his own thing you know what i'm saying it's not really he don't really got much to do with our show obviously he pops in and out but like i don't

think that's really gonna affect force Force. Like, Force is still going to keep rolling, and obviously, Kanan is in, that's like 20 years prior to, you know, the timeline that we are filming in,

so they'll be fine as well. They got to do something with y'all characters. I don't believe this is it. I believe they might get rid of the power ghost thing. It's going to evolve to something else.

It'll be power something else. You know. I hope, because, look, I'm ready to keep rolling. I'm ready to keep giving the fans what they want. You know what I'm saying?

But, you know, it's all in the higher up skins. But, listen, whenever, if they call me back, I'm here. But I'll just be awake in that corner, I guess. Oh, so that means you don't die. If you think they're going to call you back, you don't die this season. You don't die in the finale. Listen, man, nobody's safe in power. I can't die, though.

It's just like, what? What do you mean, Tariq can't die? I thought Ghost couldn just like, what? What do you mean Tariq can't die? I thought Ghost couldn't die. Yeah, if Ghost can get God, Ghost probably not even dead. I don't know. Ghost never die. You know what's so crazy?

Three seasons ago, we would have cheered if Tariq got killed. That's what I'm saying. Now Ghost's like, aw, Tariq can make it out. He can't on TV. That's what I'm saying.

I'm like, yo, they actually want me, they want me to keep rocking. I'm surprised. It's different now. They definitely did a whole 180 from the original. Character development. Yeah, shout out to the writers, man.

Because when they told me they was going to base this spin-off over me, I'm like, bro, how? F*** this hate me. Oh, it wasn't even a call. We was on set. We was filming season six. 50 came to set. And, you know, I'd just be chilling.

50 came to me. He's like, yo, mad casual, too. He's like, yo, you got to get ready for your own s*** after this, right? I'm like, I'd be just, you know, I'd just be chilling. 50 came to me, he's like, yo, mad casual, too. He's like, yo, you know, you got to get ready for, you know, your own s*** after this, right? I'm like, what are you talking about, bro? Like, he's like, you want to have your own show? I'm like, my own show? How? He was stealing Tariq Moe.

Yeah, I'm like, f*** your show. What are you talking about? He's like, he said, just get ready. I'm like, whatever, bro. I'm just thinking he'd be in 50 just trolling, you know what I'm saying? And then, like, two weeks after that, Kourtney Kemp told me the same exact thing. She's like, you got to get ready for your ownourtney Kemp told me the same exact thing she's like you gotta get ready

for your own show when she told me that I was like oh this is real she not playing and then like in my mind I'm still thinking

like how how y'all about to make this show based off of me when nobody likes me I just killed the most loved character in the whole entire franchise

how do y'all think this is gonna work were you scared were you nervous I was nervous until 50 told me that certain people thought I you scared? Were you nervous? I was nervous until 50 told me that certain people thought I wasn't ready for it. And then I was like, oh, y'all bugging.

Like, y'all really bugging. And 50 was like, and I told him, I'm like, yo, nah, I'm going to prove him wrong. And he was like, nah, don't even think in your mind like proving him wrong. Just prove yourself right. I was like, that's a good way to look at it, too. So, like, other executives, executives felt like you weren't ready? I'm not going to say who or what position they was in, but it was some, you know, but there was a little bit of doubt in there,

but we changed their minds. I mean, I needed that, though. I needed that. I needed them to, you know, there's a little motivation. Like, I don't think I'm ready. I'm ready. Let's do it. How did that put you mentally, though,

like just growing up and having social media? I used to be on the radio getting at you, like everybody not liking your character, Tariq. I ain't going to forget about that. I character Tariq I ain't gonna forget about that I gave Tariq though I gave Tariq That's a fact That's a fact

Not Michael That's a difference But how did that feel Like yo I'm just playing a character And I used to see videos Of people running up on you I don't know if it was fake Or those were sketches

I know The one with Ben That was a skit But there was literally People running up on me I can imagine It was a time like Some of my friends

Literally had to drape somebody up Cause he stepped to me Like walking out of a party like he was really you know what I'm saying so stuff like that really used to happen at first I was like

what the heck is wrong with people you know what I'm saying but after a while I kind of obviously I grew up I got a little more mature and I kind of

understood people and I understood the show was just it was just invoking emotions out of people and that's what you kind of want when you portray in a character or when you're in a show you want people to was just invoking emotions out of people and that's what you know that's what you kind of want when you portraying a character

when you're in a show you want people to you know you want to bring emotions out of people did you understand that though he was 13 at first I didn't

at first I'm like yo these people is bugging like yo I'm just doing my job and then after a while obviously having like different conversations with you know people on the cast

like Omari and 50 and everybody it was like yo it's a given like obviously you're doing something right if these people are mad at you. What you're doing on the screen

is supposed to make people mad. So the fact that they mad is good. And after I looked at it like that, I was like, yeah, it's all love. I just started laughing at it after a while. Did you ever see the meme online where they say you play the kid, you're known as the kid,

they give the parents problems like from barbershop and love and power. That's funny. And I think that's another reason they they kind of built my character on that because they in the hiatus of season two going into the film of season three i filmed barbershop d and i guess they saw like you know like me portraying that you know having that that up and down relationship with your father and i guess they kind of just was like oh we could kind of build on that in in our show you know they kind

of just translated that's really just the you know they kind of just translate it that's really just the writers like they literally look at everything outside of the show and really build on that like even the reactions from hey guys i'm kate max you might know me from my popular online series the running interview show where i run with celebrities athletes entrepreneurs and more after those runs the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

And guess what? Haunting is back, dropping just in time for spooky season. Now I know you've probably been wandering the mortal plane, wondering when I'd be back to fill your ears with deliciously unsettling stories. Well, wonder no more, because we've got a ghoulishly good lineup ready for you. Let's just say things get a bit extra.

We're talking spirits, demons, and the kind of supernatural chaos that'll make your spooky season complete. You know how much I love this time of year. It's the one time I'm actually on trend. So grab your pumpkin spice, dust off that Ouija board, just don't call me unless it's urgent, and tune in for new episodes every week. Remember, the veils are thin, the stories are spooky,

and your favorite ghost host is back and badder than ever. Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way

it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. The fans, like, that's another reason Tariq started doing

more and more crazy stuff because they saw that the fans was reacting to it. That's why Tariq got a car. That's why Tariq got cheeks. Those are the two things people were like, yo, where he go get his car when he got some cheeks? And they literally wrote that in. That's a fact. Alright, we got more with Michael Rainey Jr. When we come back, it's

The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jeff Solaris, Charlamagne Tha back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Michael Rainey Jr., Power Book 2,

and of course, Go Season 4 is out this week. Jess? So you, yo, you be doing music too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's your music. What do you like more?

Like passion. I know it's a high demand for you to act, obviously, but your music, is that something that you've always wanted to do? Oh, yeah. I fell in love with music before I fell in love with anything artistically.

When I was a baby, my mom used to just put me to sleep listening to Beethoven and stuff. I used to just hum it. Damn. Just hum it as a baby. I was five around this time. I was at my grandmother's house, and I heard KRS-One, The Bridge Is Over. That little piano melody that just stuck in my head like the whole entire day until i got back home and i got on the piano and i was

just playing the keys and i just found the keys and i just played it by ear and then like more and more songs would start coming on like i was just like here like public service and i was by jay-z i played that on my piano like there's little stuff i could just like just remake i'll just be playing it on my piano so you can instruments too Yeah, I used to like I used to love the drums a lot on piano I used to play that I mean I still do here and there but like a lot more back in the day when I had Like I had a piano teacher and all that rest in peace mr. Mitchell But um yeah, and then as I got older I kind of just got into like like you know They're like trying to be producing on my computer and stuff like that

And it was really Ryan Leslie that inspired me to really start like He's super tough like I was young I used to watch his little vlogs when he used to go to the studio and like make his songs like the one video that I really used to watch damn near every day was when he made addicted that video when he's in the studio making addicted with Cassie okay yeah yeah bro and then I literally made that whole beat like from scratch myself like I remade it I was like 12 and then I was just like yo I gotta start making beats and then after that I was just like I'm just keep making beats. So you essentially learned how to make beats watching

YouTube videos? Yeah basically yeah. That's this whole generation just everything's on YouTube. I literally was just watching Ryan Leslie I'm like yo he's tough like he's so tough and he made everything from scratch so I was just like yo I was super inspired and I would just hear the song and I just you know just start playing it by ear and then just start making the whole beat and after that I was just like, yo, I was super inspired and I would just hear the song and then I just, you know, just start playing it by ear and then just start making the whole beat and after that, it was just,

now it was time for me to make some beats. That's what life after Tariq gonna be? Music career? Drumline? I don't know. It's something I do for fun.

Like, obviously, like, I would love to make a career out of it, but I'd rather just do it for fun for now because, like, once you kind of really start making careers

out of certain things, it kind of stops feeling like fun, you know what I'm especially like with music like I'll be getting into those spaces where it stops feeling like fun where I have to like oh I gotta get these beats out to this person I gotta get to the next one I'm just like I get overwhelmed I'd rather just like make it for whenever you want yeah you know what I'm saying like me and my friend Joey like we got hella songs like some mad songs We actually dropped a tape last year Like around my birthday And I'm executive

We produced the whole thing I produced every song on it I did all like the track list And everything So like that stuff was fun You know what I'm saying Cause that's just my homie So we was just chilling

Like just making stuff And it just turned into Being a project I just be having fun with it I gotta listen to that Do you keep Tariq out the studio? Hell yeah I keep Tariq

I keep Tariq And then you go in And start rapping about keys And kids no no no no no no i ain't a lot of like when i'll be bored like i'll be i'll probably make like five six beats in a session and we got like a whole like an hour 30 left and we would just get in this booth and just start rapping and like all some fun stuff but nah i leave tariq in steiner studios how much influence does staten island have on you? A lot. I grew up in Staten Island my whole entire life.

Because it's a place where you got a lot of musical influences, right? But it's also a place that I feel like New York doesn't accept as a borough. You know what I mean? So it's like,

they be doing us dirty. Every time I tell somebody I'm from Staten Island, they be like, yo, bro, chill, bro. But Staten Island, it's a big part of me because, like you said,

not a lot of people really accept us. So I feel like that's another reason I jack Staten Island so much because we just so slept on it. It was like, yo, we here,

we done legendary stuff. Look at Meza, man. Look at me. People saying like, look at Wolf Face Joey. He's coming up, but he's about to be a legendary kid as well.

So it's just like, there's a lot of things that come from Staten Island that people don't really give the credit to pete davidson pete davidson facts i was pete davidson word there's a lot and it's a lot more that i'm forgetting too but it's like i don't i can't think fast yeah you a young sniper like pete is with the ladies you see that laugh you know he knocking him damn nah man i'll be chilling man.

he can't really bring her into the world because she not ready for that. Yeah. He's just in a tough predicament. He gotta be by himself.

Yeah, that's what I feel like. He gotta be by himself. I wanted to ask, you started acting so young. What made you focus on that with everything going on? You could have been playing basketball, baseball, soccer. You could have been doing any sport that you wanted.

Started sniffing coke, wilding out in Hollywood. My mom was not jacking that. But I was going to say, how did you stay focused? What made you want to do it as a kid? Because at your age, when you started, most of these kids just wanted to play basketball. Right. I just wanted to play basketball. I ain't going to lie.

I literally just wanted to. When I had to stop playing basketball because I had to focus on acting more, I was mad as hell. But, like, it all made sense. I wasn't going to the NBA, so I'm gonna focus on acting, you know what I'm saying? But I don't know. Like, I feel like even just, like, my first movie, it kind of just made me want to act because it was just such a crazy experience.

Like, I was literally nine going on ten. I lived in Italy for a year and a half. And I also spent a month in Nairobi, Kenya filming that same movie. So I was just like, yo, I get to travel. I get to meet hella different people, learn two different languages. You know what I'm saying? Like, live in a whole different country for a year and a half. Like, being an actor, like, this is cool.

So let's just see where it takes me. And I just, you know, just kept on going with it. And obviously, like, I have my, like, you know, like, do I really want to do this? Or do I really want to to be a regular kid? But at the end of the day, it's like, I have a blessing. I might as well just take advantage of it and just keep going. All right, we got more with Michael Rainey Jr. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club.

You know what? I also love that y'all are actually closer in real life, too. How did that happen? Because y'all got a podcast and everything. Yeah. I don't even know. We just... You know what's mad funny?

Our first day on set, we didn't speak to each other at all. We didn't say a word. The only word we said was, what's up? And then whatever was on the pages. Because me, I'm a mad introverted in a way. Especially when it comes to meeting other actors around my age. They be kind of weird sometimes. They be that weird.

I be kind of like, because I be bugging sometimes. I don't want to say nothing. I don't want to say nothing too out of pocket. But certain things might be out of pocket for these actors my age. You know what I'm saying? Sensitive. So, like, I was just, yo, what's up? Let's get the work done, whatever.

And that, mind you, that was the only scene we had for that season. He came back the next season. Yeah. And then that's kind of when we started becoming cool. He said something about, like, girls or, like, a car or something. I was like, oh, he might be a normal, like, a normal, like, person. Like, he might not just be one of these weirdos. You know what I'm saying?

I might be able to relate on some things. He said something about some cars. I was like, all right, he normal. And then after a while, we just started chopping it up

off of set and everything and we came hella close. We came hella close. That's my dogs right there. Did him and Tommy, Joseph, really have beef? Oh yeah,

that was a crazy situation. That was a real issue? Yeah, because I'm just there like, damn, I'm in the middle of it. I'm like, it's my brother. It's my uncle. I'm like, it's my brother.

It's my uncle. I'm like, hey, what's up? But it was really, I feel like it was just like a misunderstanding, I guess. I don't really know exactly what was the core reasoning between everything, behind everything. But what I saw was, you know, the same, whatever happened on stage. And I guess they, you know, they spoke about that after, you know, at after you know at tycoon weekend and you know they hashed it out after a while but yeah in the midst of it i'm like damn bro what i'm supposed to do like i'm just in the middle of everything mind your business when you see white on white crime your business they'll fit they'll figure

it out that's what i did i minded my business i was like y'all handle y'all what y'all gotta handle i'm here you need something for me know. G, you need something from me, let me know. I was trying to be nosy because I was there. You was? What did you use? Yeah, I was trying to see.

You was at Taco Weekend? Yeah. I just can't come this year because I'm pregnant. I'm just asking. But yeah, I was there, yo. Yeah, I was there. It was crazy.

That was a crazy situation. I'm like, no way this is real right now. I'm like, this isn't happening. Yeah. Now, are we going to get any like, I don't want to say unexpected

because everybody think Ghost coming back. That's true. Is Ghost coming back? And if he did, would you think that was corny? Better not be coming back 20 years later. Listen. Would you think it was corny? I heard Tariq say ghosts never die.

Yeah. So, I don't know. Like, where the hell would you go for 10 years? Like, for, it ain't 10 years. How long have you been on the show? I would say it's like seven years. Well, no, like five years ago. I like three.

I like two, three. Hell no. Yeah, because you still in college. Yeah, you can't stop yourself. Oh, well, in the show. Yeah, in the show timeline, it's like two years maybe. A year and a half, two years. Oh, okay.

Well, all right. I'm thinking about how many years ago he died in real life to us. Oh, yeah, that was a long time ago. What happened to your little sister? Not Raina, the other one. That's like... Oh, yeah, the baby. They never talk like Yasmin.

Where's Yasmin? She's with the grandmother. Yasmin didn't even let Yasmin grow up on the show. Yeah, she with grandma. They don't really even show grandma. No. They just say, man, f***. He's trying to keep them out of trouble.

Yeah. He's trying to keep them from outside. He's just making sure they in the crib. They got their groceries. They got their food. Yeah. And that's just what they... We don't need to see them as much.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I do miss seeing them though. Yeah. I ain't like how you... I You try to... We don't need to see them as much. Yeah. Yeah. I do miss seeing them though. Yeah. I ain't like how you... I'm gonna say that. I know this was made long ago

but you didn't cry when your twin died. Yeah. I was watching that episode not too long ago. I'm like, damn, I'm cold. Like, why I didn't cry?

And did you not cry because at that age... Like, because you was mad young but like at that age you couldn't or it was just like... No, at that age I was crying like a mug. Like, before that. You see what they said about me online

but your disposition was just like damn not because like in my head it's like i could bring a horse to the water but i can't make you drink it i told you stay out this business i told you don't go to ray ray with this stuff i I told you. Damn, Toyin. Damn, Toyin. That's what I was thinking in my mind. I'm like, damn, Toyin. I was literally watching that episode like last week. I'm like, damn, Reek. Like, damn, Reek. You could have.

Yeah. Reek. But I don't know. My last question. You scared at all? Because this show has been such a big part of your life the last 10 years. You got some healthy anxiety about what's next? Yeah, I feel like when I first entered, I was like,

you know, it's all God's timing. You know, God's timing is the best timing. And we all got to, you know, especially the young kids, like the young actors on the show, we all got an amazing platform out of it. So I feel like moving on, we all going to have, you know, doors that are open for us moving forward. And I honestly kind of want that, like, you know, that insecurity.

You know, like, obviously being secure like yeah I got a job like I'm looking forward to going to set every day it's a good feeling but like you also want to have that like I'm saying like I got a you know I got a I got a grind still I got a audition I got a you know I put myself in these rooms and I feel like now is the time you know now's the time I had a good 10 years of really having a consistent job which is really a blessing you know I'm saying not a lot of people could really say that especially at this age so now I'm ready

Okay, so another Diddy expose. Last week, Rolling Stones released an investigative article on Diddy. Now, the Daily Beast is following in their footsteps and they released an investigative article on diddy now the daily beast is following in their footsteps and they released an article of their own their article features five former employees of diddy who claim his abusive tendencies weren't just limited to his romantic relationships they claim diddy created a disturbingly toxic work environment the five ex-employees participated in the daily beast article anonymously out of fear of retaliation one person claimed that diddy yelled at her and squeezed her face aggressively she said she The five ex-employees participated in the Daily Beast article anonymously out of fear of retaliation.

One person claimed that Diddy yelled at her and squeezed her face aggressively. She said she started looking for a new job immediately after that. She claimed the only way to work in that environment was to see Diddy as an icon, which she did not. Another ex-employee claimed that he was fired after looking Diddy in the eyes. Just a little backstory about that. Diddy had allegedly showed up to a meeting late, and the guy looked at him like, why are you late? And so he got fired after looking at him like that, like he was questioning his lateness. He also claimed that Diddy mentally abused them by the way he spoke to them.

An excerpt from the article said, the former Sean John employee said, the work environment was like a Game of Thrones, with everyone walking on eggshells and some colleagues throwing others under the bus to stay in combs good graces another employee said that he called the women bitches and stupid she also claimed that she never saw Diddy speak to men like that unless they were powerless uh two ex-employees who participated didn't feel the working environment was that bad one said i don't think he was exceptionally crazy it was an intense work environment the i the hours were not normal um he could be intimidating scary and mean but there was always this underlying professionalism to him you felt like he was punishing you i mean he was pushing you to get i'm sorry yeah you felt like he was pushing you

to get the absolute best last little bit out of you so that's what they said yeah i know that that last one was crazy but yeah so uh and then also uh kalina from one of his former groups i think that was danny decain she was in danny decain no dirty money dirty money dirty money because yeah it was kalina and don yeah kalina she was uh like supporting uh Diddy in a way she was like she don't she never underwent any of that you know she never experienced any of that stuff um you know the crazy part about it I don't know what it felt like there was no human resources back then like 20 20 30 years ago I know Charlamagne and myself like where we worked there there was no human resources like that this the sad part about it that like that was the normal there was definitely human resources

they didn't care not clearly not yeah oh you're saying kalani kalani kalina kalina kalina came to his defense well she said she didn't experience she just said that she didn't experience any of this toxic you know in work environment none of this inappropriate behavior from him well i would think that's what the tiktok kids call a 20 v1 20 v1 that's a 20 v1 that was that was the last thought did he that well not not the last i'm pretty sure hey guys i'm kate max you might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.

Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

podcasts. Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote-unquote normal or back to the way it was, and I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change.

You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us. It's maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts that was definitely not the last a lot of investigating going on i'm sorry that was the latest on Diddy and i understand people wanting to be anonymous but i doubt there's gonna be any retaliation at this point

retaliation would only reinforce everything everyone is saying about Diddy and everything we saw on that tape with Cassidy. Or maybe they work in the industry now and just don't want to be looked at any which way. So they just don't want their face or stuff out there. Could be. Fetus found on Baltimore, Maryland bus. On Saturday, Baltimore City Police and MTA Police responded to a report of a fetus being

found on an MTA bus. Police say a fetus was found on an MTA bus earlier this afternoon. Details are limited, but here's what we know so far. Police responded to the call near the 2500 block of Kirk Avenue. The bus driver said he discovered the fetus on a seat of the bus. The Maryland Transit Administration and Baltimore Police are currently investigating. Stay with WJZ on air and online as we learn more. the maryland transit administration and baltimore police are currently investigating stay with wjz on air and online as we learn more yeah the police didn't release too much information so the story

is still development uh developing but i just thought the story was crazy and i wanted to share that that's obviously that's mental issues i don't know if she gave birth to the fetus on it or carried the fetus on the bus with her. Like, you just never know. But like I said, the story is still developing. But they'll be able to find the mother though, right? Absolutely.

They should be able to find her dumb ass. Like, what are you doing? But yeah, okay. And Bobby Shmurda accused DSPs of blocking him because he refuses to paint his nails.

On Sunday, Bobby made an Instagram post about responding to fans who have been asking him for new music. He posted a picture of his nails, which were unpainted, with the caption saying,

stop asking me to drop music. American DSP and music blogs, which they owned as well, don't allow real bad mind on playlists because I don't paint my nails, so it's pointless. So until something is done

with the people who owns, runs, and manages these platforms. Bobby Rants. Bobby's Rants came after he dropped a single with Eli called On Something last month. And the song hasn't been doing too well. I didn't even know he dropped this. I never heard that record in my life. I never heard it either.

That was Bobby rapping just now? Yeah, that was Bobby rapping. He sounds totally different. Yeah, I know. You wouldn't even know it was him i never heard it either never heard it that was bobby rapping just now yeah that was bobby rapping um he's not totally different yeah i know you wouldn't even know it was him if you heard it just playing yeah one comment said knock it off bro your music has been ass since your release um another person responded said keep it a buck it has nothing to do with you not painting your nails or whatever you trying to claim the music has been trash rowdy out here doing fine because the music is decent stop crying get in the studio and make some fire ish that's the remedy I think he should listen I don't I would I would usually tell people not to listen to comments but those sounded like two very constructive comments right from fans of his yes Bobby if you

don't got no records just say that okay but don't blame it on the fact that you're not painting your nails all right and if you do need to get your nails painted just do a little clear coat a little clear coat a little clear nobody even know like oh he got a nice little buff my man said i'm a real bad man i don't need to do none of that so that's just with the mess safari said the same thing so far that's why they won't play his music because he a real bad man he didn't say that nah ain't no way no it's different reasons why they don't play Safari. He did say that. What's the reason? What? What's the reason?

Because that ain't it. No. It just ain't it. He a better writer than he is, you know, an artist. All right. Well, thank you for jesting with the man. And, Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to? Man, for After the Hour, we have to take back a donkey, okay? Because last Thursday, Corey Harris got awarded donkey of the day.

So, we got to take back a donkey and give the donkey to who should properly get it in that situation. We'll discuss. Ain't no we. You. You the one that give it out. I'm tired of getting in trouble

for stuff you be doing. I said we. I didn't say we. Yeah, you said we got to take it back. We ain't give it out. Well, we be getting them bonuses. All right, we'll get to it next at the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into The Breakfast Club. It's Donkey of the Day. Baby. Damn, the hee-haw, dude. It's time for Donkey of the Day.

I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. It's called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlamagne. Who got the donkey of the day and it really caught me off guard damn solomone who got the donkey of the day today well just hilarious donkey of the day for monday june 3rd goes to the honorable judge cedric simpson uh it also goes to the director of saginaw's friends of the court and it goes to the secretary of state in michigan okay the clerks everybody who was behind the injustice that happened to cory harris now

last thursday on may 30th i gave out a double donkey and i gave it to cory harris and judge cedric simpson because cory was caught driving during a virtual court hearing for a suspended license y'all remember that story right yeah okay if not let me refresh your memory let's go to local for news for the report please ever since some court proceedings went on Zoom, you really never know what to expect. And this judge did not see this coming. Mr. Harris, are you driving? Ashley, I'm pulling into my doctor's office, actually. Just give me one second.

You can see the shock on his face. Judge Cedric Simpson nearly speechless. The defendant, Corey Harris, had a suspended license yet joined the court proceeding from behind the wheel. The judge needed to get something straight. I'm looking at his record. He doesn't have a license. He's suspended and he's just driving. That is correct, Your Honor. I don't even know why he would do that. So defendant's bond is revoked in this matter. Defendant is turning himself into the Washtenaw County Jail by 6 p.m. today. Failure to turn himself in will result in a bench warrant with no bond.

The judge told poor Corey to go to jail, directly to jail. Do not pass go because he was caught driving during a virtual court hearing for a suspended license. Turns out, though, Corey should have never been charged with driving on a suspended license, okay? He should have never been charged, and he blames the mix-up on Saginaw's friend of the court. Let's go to 7 News Detroit to listen. I was thinking about getting my wife medical help. Corey Harris said that's why he was behind the wheel earlier this month

when he appeared before District Court Judge Cedric Simpson, who knew Harris was appearing on a charge of driving while license suspended. We spoke to Harris by phone today, and he said the doctor wanted to see his wife for some ongoing medical issues that had worsened, and he didn't think about anything but getting her there. Corey Harris was cited for driving while license suspended in Pittsfield Township back in October. He said it was suspended for unpaid child support. Secretary of State records show his license was first suspended for child support

back in 2010. But Harris told us he thought his license had been reinstated. They were supposed to have been lifted two years ago, but they didn't. And according to the Saginaw county court records we found harris is right in january 2022 a judge rescinded that suspension on his license but for some reason that information never got to the secretary of state where even as of today his license is still listed as suspended the same records the judge was going by. It's very embarrassing. And with the type of ties that I have with the church and the community, it's very embarrassing.

I've told y'all on this radio before, there are certain jobs you can't afford to make mistakes in, okay? Doctors, surgeons, police officers. And now we got to add the clerical people who work in the courts to the list because this man Corey had to report to jail. Embarrassed all over the internet. He's a meme now. I said that man looked like Beetlejuice's brother.

I even gave the judge donkey the day last week for not having sympathy towards Corey because he said he was going to the doctor. I diagnosed him with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and maybe even a little diabetes because he looked a little swollen in the cheeks. Come to find out he wasn't going to the doctor for himself. He was taking his wife. Corey, I apologize for naming you donkey of the day. I got to take that hee haw back.

Give him that hee haw in reverse one time, right? That's right. That's creative. This is what I don't understand. How come the public defender wasn't aware that Corey's license wasn't really suspended? The public defender should have been doing some type of research on the case this is why public defenders get a bad rap the judge don't have this kind of information that's what lawyers and public defenders are supposed to do present the proper information to the judge or maybe the public

defender didn't know because in 2022 as you just heard court records showed that a judge rescinded the suspension allowing cory to drive again but that information uh never got to the secretary of state because even as of last thursday afternoon harris's license is still listed as suspended and that's the same records the police and the judge were going by poor cory had to spend two days in jail and you heard cory say with the type of ties that i have with the church and the community is very embarrassing. And you know there is nobody more judgmental than church folks. It's a damn shame you had to deal with this, Corey. Not to mention everybody and their mama went in on Corey. Listen.

Even the judge is speechless. That's Michigan. A courtroom there. A man facing, yes, a suspended license charge. Made a court appearance while driving. He still doesn't have a license, and now he's got an appointment at the jail cell. I mean, it's the judge's reaction as well.

Wait, do I have this right? Are you punking me? Ladies and gentlemen, that man right there might be one of the dumbest individuals we've seen. I mean, when you talk about bloopers or straight dummies, and you think about a top 10 category, that dude is on it. So once again,

I want to take back the donkey of the day I gave you last week, Corey, and I'm sorry that your five to six bottom teeth have been broadcast to the world. I studied this meme this morning, because when i think of that meme i think of glasses and teeth so i went to count his bottom teeth and he's got between five and six pass this to jess hilarious jesus you and me look at that just this count count how

many teeth you got at the bottom just count them up wonderful six is six yeah let me see because i can't tell if it's two teeth really close to each other That look like one big tooth Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis So it's six It's six? Yeah, it's six Okay, okay Anyway, please give Judge Cedric Simpson And the friend of the court in Saginaw

The sweet sounds of the Hamilton's Oh now you are the donkey Of the day You are the donkey of the day yee haw yee haw

come on now y'all gotta make sure y'all measure twice to cut once man humans make mistakes but damn that is crazy that's crazy and you even say that this man is dying I said he had high blood pressure and maybe high cholesterol and a little bit of diabetes you said just a little bit because he

is dying and y'all don't have no sympathy i was like jesus i was pretending to be his lawyer that's what i would have said in court look at this man y'all honey cory call he got five to six teeth in his mouth. You're not making it better. Look at him. You're not making it better. Oh my God. I'm just saying. Corey Cole.

Okay. So that's why he was looking like, oh my God. Yes. Oh my God, yes. Oh man. That would make sense.

He couldn't believe it because he knew it better. You should send him your book. Hey, Reed. Yeah, no, those reading glasses. I had to make sure. I wanted to make,

I looked at the pictures. I wanted to make sure they wanted to make After I looked at the pictures I wanted to make sure They was reading glasses You know right We sent him a copy We sent him a copy Corey come All right Well thank you for that donkey today

Yes All right Now when we come back During get it off your chest A gentleman called this morning And he was going through it He was having a little pain And that's because

He was trying to get his family Back together I just want to let everybody know, especially the brothers out there, especially us black men, man, go home, man. That overtime, it ain't worth it. That money, it's not worth it, man. I'm serious, bro. What if you need it?

You know, listen, family is more important than anything, bro. I agree. Listen, for a year straight, I was working doubles almost every day. I almost lost my family behind this, bro. And she simply told me, she was like, yo, you just simply weren't there. Damn. That's more important than anything right now. Like, I'm fighting right now to get my family back.

Kids, wife, all that, bro. Like, kids don't care about how much money I'm making. They're going to remember that time I spent with them. Yeah, ain't nobody on their deathbed ever said i wish i spent more time at the office that's right i wish i spent more time at work so that is the question 800-585-1051 it's balancing work life work life balance work life balance right because you know when we all start out in this industry all we think about is work right well. Well, myself thinking about his work, thinking about preparing our kids and making sure that they have everything that they want. But a lot of times all they want is just mom and dad. So let's discuss.

Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one with Turk. We were talking work life balance when we come back as a breakfast club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club if you're just joining us uh we're talking about a gentleman that called during get it off your chest uh you can hear from his voice that he was upset and he's really just trying to get his family back, just trying to make some changes in his life. This is what he said about work life balance. I just want to let everybody know, especially the brothers out there, especially us black men, man.

Go home, man. That overtime, it ain't worth it. That money, it's not worth it, man. You got to go home. I'm serious, bro. I just went through 12, man. You know, listen, family more important than anything, bro. I agree. Listen, for a year straight, I was working doubles

almost every day. I almost lost my family behind this, bro. And she simply told me, she was like, yo, you just simply weren't there. Damn. That's more important than anything right now. Like, I'm anything right now like i'm fighting right now to get my family back kids wife all that bro like kids don't care about how much money i'm making they gonna remember that time i spent with them so we're asking 800-585-1051 what are your

thoughts now all of us we we at one time worked a lot uh i worked super super super super a lot uh and the reason being is i wanted to prepare and set up my kids for the future. Right. You hear so many different times about generational wealth and having things. And I just remember the things that I wanted as a kid. And, you know, I got pretty much everything that I wanted, but I always wanted more. And I wanted my kids to have more. I wanted to pay for my kids college tuition. I wanted a nice house for my kids. I wanted them to be able to do things that i didn't do whether it was activities travel places that i've never been so i worked extra hard and sometimes

that meant me missing some of their stuff meant me missing their games meant me missing activities i tried to make as many as i can but when it came to the dollar and their stuff i made it my business to to try to make sure i was able to afford all of that. The good thing is I had a wife that understood that. So my wife was like, no, I understand how this industry is and how this business is. You could be hot tomorrow, today, and then next week be cold. So go get it. As I started making more money, I realized that being there for my kids is more important.

And maybe not having whatever it may be, but to actually be at my kids' to be at the soccer games to be at my daughter's event so you had to figure out that balance but i also think it's your partner and understanding that your partner is cool with it now you work a lot yeah definitely and that's what um i'm learning right now i'm actually well i've already learned but i'm making you know steps to have Ash with me like now because when he was younger I missed a lot like even when he started playing football I did shows on weekends so I couldn't be at his games and then I was doing shows during the week as well I would sell out like shows when I was a little flex but I would sell out like during the weeks too so I would be working like Tuesday Wednesday Thursday then Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And Ash was living between my mom and his dad.

So I missed a lot of his school stuff. I missed like doing homework with him. And I missed a lot of his first years of football. And now that's why I'm like, I'm glad I do have this job now where I can actually be stationary. He can come up here with me and this new baby. But you also talk about there was times where you didn't have electricity. Yeah. So you never want about there was times where you didn't have electricity. Yeah.

So you never want to go back to that point. You know what I mean? So you make sure, like, nah, I'm going to get it now so we never back there. Right. And that was the whole point because I was the one paying for football. I was the one paying for school uniforms and paying my mom, you know, to be in it. Because she already raised her kids. You know what I mean?

So, you know, I was, I actually, that's what I was doing. I was providing. But like you said, the older you get and the you realize you're like damn like it's the time because i can't even rewind those years i wish i did have with him you know charlamagne well yeah i mean listen balance uh it's not something you find it's something that you you you create you know and i remember seeing this old quote a long time ago and it was like don't be so busy you know making a living that you forget to make a life. You know, I've always put my family first before all things, you know. Not all the time, though.

In the beginning, you slept at the station before. My family wasn't up here. So I guess that would be the time I was making those sacrifices because my wife, I only had one daughter then. And my now wife wasn't up here. They were in South Carolina. So, yes, that was a year of sacrifice. If you're talking about those years, like those years I definitely was living up here in New York by myself, you know, before I really truly had a family the way I do now. It's like, yeah, that was the sacrifice.

But, you know, yeah, I've I try not to put my my work before my family simply because, yeah, I want to have a real life. You don't get that time back. You don't get that time back you don't get that time back and i i thank god that i'm in the position now to where um i'm i'm not needed to to be able to make a living but i have entities set up to where i'm not i my personal presence is not needed yeah to make things happen but also you know like you just said behind the scenes like the way inflation is people gotta work like we were just talking about mcdonald's listen i just i just looked this up. This is so crazy.

It's this Instagram page I like called Wealth, man. And they posted the price. I'm sorry if we going off on a little tangent. They posted how much McDonald's meals cost now compared to 1994.

Now, if you were born in 1978 like us, you know that the two cheeseburger meal used to be $2.99. In South Carolina, it was $3.14 with tax. It was $3.24 here in New York with tax, yeah used to be $2.99. In South Carolina, it was $3.14 with tax. It was $3.24 here in New York with tax. It's $9.19.

How? I remember it was $4.23. So that's crazy. Whoever, one of y'all, I don't know if it's Trump or Biden, one of y'all got to get up there and say, you know what? We got to get the price of McDonald's down. We got to fix this. Okay.

If Trump come out there right now and say, you know what? We got to get Biden out of office because the price of McDonald's is too damn high. That's another one. He's going to get a couple people to vote for him. All the things in Little McDonald's. There's going to be a couple big backs out there that vote for him. All right. D.

Nobody ever catered to the big back. What? Hey, D, what's going on? Hey, show them that layoff with them big backs. We are lucky guys, sir. I'm sorry, man. I was sticking up for you because I was talking about the price of McDonald's being too high. What if she don't even eat that?

Don't do that. But my comment on the subject is how the cost of living is and how inflation has got everything crazy. It's kind of hard not to work like crazy yeah yeah but you know they always say that if you don't raise the kid your kids the streets will so it got to be a balance somewhere you know i may not get there but this is why hey guys i'm kate max you might know me from my popular online series the running interview show where i run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.

Good morning, man. Good morning. And just so you know, Andy, I'm heading to work and I'm bitter. You need to have a balance. You really do. But it's not easy. I mean, who's going to pay the bills? Who's going to pay for the 1099 orange juice?

Yeah, that's right. You have to work. That's right. You can do. You have to work. I have four kids. Always they talk about the places we've been and the places we're not going anymore. But, you know, it takes more to live now.

So I feel like the kids should be a little bit more understanding. And the men need to step up a little bit more too, you know, it takes more to live now. So I feel like the kids should be a little bit more understanding and the men need to step up a little bit more too, you know? Shoot, the kids might need to get a job. I was ready to say that. They do. Charlemagne, my two, you know, we are Jamaican household. My two older kids, they

do have jobs. And if I'm saying they have jobs, I work like a dog all the time and we still you know trying to make things go when jamaicans are saying that we need work-life balance you know america is no longer the country we once was we used to be a proper country okay when jamaicans are saying there's too much work going on lord have mercy 800-585-1051 we're talking work-life balance let's discuss.

I just want to let everybody know, especially the brothers out there, especially us black men, man. Go home, man. Family more important than anything, bro. I agree.

Listen, for a year straight, I was working doubles almost every day. I almost lost my family behind this, bro.

Good morning. Talk to us. What's your thoughts? Good morning. So my thoughts on the work-life balance is pretty much,

I just want to let other women know that there are avenues that we can reach out to and negotiate work-life balance before we even take a job. So even though we're a number to a lot of companies, we can still be an effective number as single moms or as working moms or even single fathers you know we can manage that work-life balance with our kids because what are we really balancing kids and house and job you know now randy what you you did said in these notes when you when you called was something that i used to say all the time my first years of working in radio for the first 10 years i never took a vacation because i was

always scared that you you take a vacation and they you know somebody else fills your spot and then you don't get that spot back when you come back so i never took a vacation for the first 10 years not at all literally so like my cousins we actually have a trip booked in two weeks. And then, so, like, I'm really deciding on, should I go on a trip or should I keep my job? And then at the same time, I come back to work and the job is kind of hitting me with, like, a bunch of bull crap. And I'm really, right now, don't know if I'm going to be terminated or, you know, keep my job. But at the same time, it's just like I pray for peace. If this is what's happening, I get my 401k. And guess what?

Me and my son are going to go on vacation. I'm going to have a great summer. And they're missing out on a great, talented performer. But it's okay. Life goes on. I'll get another job. Yeah. Alright, thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this? This is Rashawn.

Rashawn? Yeah, man. Talk to us, work-life balance. That's really something I'm dealing with now. I hear that you always say how you wanted to work yourself to be able to take care of your children. And I basically had that same exact motivation from my part of myself. I pretty much raised up, built a house from the ground with myself. So I put that same exact motivation from my part of myself. I pretty much raised up building houses from the ground with myself.

So I put that same work ethic myself and went ahead and moved like 9 to 1,000 miles a week. But the problem is, I almost passed out at work last week, feeling bad, still pushed through. And then I ended up having a colodine. And I ended up finding out about some health problems like a lung lesion and a tumor in my head. It was not nothing serious, but it was still a big concern. When I ran that information back to my father, he already knows that we're workers and we handle business and stuff. So we just had a real heart-to-heart conversation.

He just thought I'm all in. It's a real concern and stuff like that. But I'm only 23, man. I just started doing it. I'm trying to keep doing it. But, you know, I don't know what to do. Nobody on their deathbed ever said, I wish I spent more time at work, my brother.

So take some time for yourself, man. Absolutely. Yeah. And... I come from a hole in the wall, Eldorado, Arkansas, or Junction City, Arkansas. Same town as Dan Gabbert going to the cup this year.

You know, he can bring it home. Shout out to Dallas Mavericks, bro. That's the thing, like, we come from nothing, bro. So, literally,

I was working as a welder for like $18 and where I'm at now, you can make that at Amazon. So, you know, I was able to get out here, start there, and now I'm up

from like a different job. I'm at like more than I ever made it in the period so that's my main thing is the money like there's nothing out there for me at all it's a hole in the wall my pops this thing he knows he knows that i can i'm in the best place like we got the best doctors out here where i'm in the store so he really doesn't even want me to take the risk to come back down there usually just to waste the time or whatever so but if i'm out here

i gotta work that's the problem thank you healing energy man absolutely that's what i'm saying man trump and biden all these governors and senators they all running on the wrong things work-life balance is something that they should be speaking to yeah because most folks can't see past their bills and nobody wants to work two and three jobs to pay their bills okay y'all need to be speaking about you know how we can provide financial relief for people when i say y'all i'm talking about these elected officials are people running for office y'all need to be speaking about how we can provide financial relief for people because all humans want to be is financially secure and safe right that's it whoever can make that happen will win

elections for years to come but you know the problem is how do we lower all these prices when you're talking i mean you just said mcdonald's is like damn near nine ten dollars for the number people gotta stop being greedy you know people people have to stop being greedy yes uh we are in a capitalist society we all have to be capitalists in order to make it but stop being greedy but when you're talking about medicine is so expensive when you're talking about and mcdonald's why is it the red is the beef that expensive you Is the beef that expensive? You know what I mean? The price of art. You like cheap beef? Oh, see. See?

Even when it comes to grocery shopping. You like your meat cheap? Even when it comes to... We cannot be serious for more than 10 damn minutes. Not at all. When it comes to grocery shopping, I hear a lot... I see a lot of memes that say a lot of people say, yo, it's cheaper to go grocery shopping and cook every night.

No, it's not. It ain't cheap neither. You know what I'm saying? No, it's not. Well,cdonald's is nine dollars it is it's still not nine dollars for mcdonald's you know how much whiting costs right now at the grocery store crazy let me see how much whiting costs per pound it's like nine dollars probably more than that hold on whiting per pound 15.99 man but at least with 15..99, how much is a pound? A pound? Four pieces? Five pieces?

I don't know. See? You get four pieces of filet in a pound. Four pieces. You get four pieces. At least you got four pieces. What if you got a family of five? What if you got a family of six? Well, if you went to McDonald's, you'd have to give four of them number two meals.

This nigga love McDonald's. He love McDonald's. No, you. He talking about you. He's the one that said McDonald's. It'd be like his meat cheap, Jess. You know this. See, you can't take nothing serious.

All right. Happy Pride Month to everybody out there. What's the moral of the story? Exactly. What's the moral of the story? Exactly. What's the moral of the story? We just did tomorrow. Oh, all right. Yeah.

All right. Well, we got just with the mess coming up, what we talk about. Speaking of Pride Month, Adele blasted a fan who yelled out some crazy things about Pride at her show. All right. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. News is real.

Webster's Alliance. Jessica Robin Moore. Just don't do no lying. Just don't do no lying whether it's just a robin moore just don't do no lying she don't spare nobody on the breakfast club she's a coach of she was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it off. So, Matt Barnes criticized the Indiana Fever team. Kaitlyn Clark has been getting tested by other players since she joined the WNBA in a recent game against the Chicago Sky.

A player named Kennedy Carter charged Kaitlyn for no reason. It was originally a foul, but yesterday the WNBA elevated it to a flagrant one violation. Because y'all know this better than I do, I had to actually look up the definition of it. So flagrant foul, penalty one, unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent. I'm following that incident. Matt Barnes posted a video to Instagram sharing his thoughts. Let's see what he said. Kaitlyn Clark today she got

cheap shot at against the sky i mean throughout the season she's been getting beat up hard screens elbows knocked down it is what it is she's not the first she won't be the last my issue and my question is where the f**k are her teammates at where y'all at where the rest of the indiana fever at i've seen a couple girls smirk when she's got knocked down half-assed to pick her up like y'all supposed to protect the asset protect the star i was someone who protected the stars you code cp blake list goes on i'm it's gonna be a problem because you guys are supposed to be a family and you wonder why you sit at the bottom of the league right now it's because y'all don't protect each other man coach don't do about it players don't do y'all should be ashamed of it but the rest of the league is going to

continue to test her yeah he's right. I agree with everything he's saying. Absolutely right. Matt Barnes is not wrong. They need an enforcer to protect their star. Like, you know, hard, tough play is supposed to happen. Nobody in the WNBA is supposed to take it easy on Kaitlyn Clark. It's going to be rough for her. But when somebody hits you with a cheap shot like that,

you need someone to get your lick back. No, that's it. Like, when they knocked her on the floor, that girl should have checked that girl immediately. Pushed her, shoved her. That's just basketball. You see that with Oakland. You see that with Dennis Rodman.

You see that with- Steven Jackson. Steven Jackson. Ron Artest. Ron Artest. What are you talking about? Anthony Mason. Robert Parrish.

Remember Robert Parrish? Robert Parrish. Remember that time? I think it was Bill Lambert. He had fouled- Draymond Green. Draymond Green. I was born in 1978.

Remember when Larry Bird Got fouled real hard And then on the next play down Robert Maybe it was the next game Robert Parrish Hit him with a three piece Yes Immediately

Like immediately Hit him with a three piece Bam bam bam That wasn't even That wasn't a basketball There is no way In hell That anybody

Would let their player Their star player Get pushed on the floor And nothing happened But her own team Hated on her too You know what I mean They on the floor and nothing happen. But her own team hating on her too. You know what I mean? Nah. They hate on her too.

You think so? Yeah. Her own team. They be like not doing nothing purposely. Like, what you mean? Wasn't there a comment made like, does she only shoot three points or something? She only goes for threes or something like that. She only goes for threes.

Like, that's not a compliment. Like, you hating on her? Yeah, that's just hate. And then even, nah, that was super hate. Yeah, that's not a compliment. Like, you hating on that? Yeah, that's just hate. And then even, man, that was super hate. Yeah, that was hate. Because it's like, yo, she's the number one scorer ever in college basketball history. D-1 history. Goofy, he do his threes.

And then even I thought about that because when she got knocked to the ground, Angel Reese jumped up and started clapping. I'm like, Angel, they just put you in the Crippler CrossFit class. Yes, I'm talking about like, damn, they decapitated you. Somebody's supposed to come handle your business, too. That's right.

So, Ukrainian model. They should all sue. Yeah, yeah. The model named Sawa Pontiska shared a video to her TikTok to share her plans of suing Cannes. And she's basically looking for a lawyer after being physically, basically assaulted by the same security guard that we've seen get into it with Kelly Rowland, the pop star Yuna, and another actress. I will sue the Cannes Film Festival. Actors, producers, and people of film industry, I need your help.

I always dreamed into getting off Cannes Film Festival, but then I was shocked about rudeness and unreasonable use of physical force, which I experienced on the red carpet with other international stars. We need a serious lawyer who will help to suit the organizers of Cannes Film Festival because they allowed the guards to use the physical force on the red carpet guests. Lawyers who already had a similar experience and cases and who will not be afraid of high-profile case. Lawyers, write me on Insta.

If you are victims, write me on insta if you are victims write me on insta about your case and followers please maximum like and repost yeah where's these people security yo that's i have no idea that's crazy i think they probably got their own setup you know you don't need you don't need your own i guess there or i guess they probably don't allow it there but the thing is this video did y'all see that?

Yuna, and this other actress or whatever. But this girl is so, and she actually was like, the girl fell, she picked her back up. She was like bear hugging this girl. So basically what you're saying is you need an enforcer to walk the red carpet yes against their security damn yep that's really really sad you know so yeah but i did say that adele went off on a fan in the crowd basically she was sitting there um and she she has talk breaks like in between songs or whatever and somebody in her crowd um on june 1st you know that was the day one of LGBTQ+, their Pride month.
